We’ve never been surrounded by so many stories.
How do we make sense of it all?
Because stories shape everything — from what we stream on Netflix to the messages we hear in the news, politics, and social media. In a world full of competing narratives, English majors learn how to make sense of the noise and create meaning.
At Monmouth, you’ll develop the skills employers value: reading closely, thinking critically, and writing with clarity and creativity. Those abilities make English graduates highly employable and adaptable, ready to succeed in almost any field.
We offer the option of emphasizing in literary study, creative and professional writing, English Education or some combination of the three. We also teach interdisciplinary courses that are essential to the liberal arts in Women’s Studies and as part of our core curriculum, that broaden your perspective and prepare you to engage thoughtfully with the world.

Knowing our students as individuals is important. We keep track of student progress through personalized advising and portfolio management of their accomplishments. Most of our courses have 10-16 students, the perfect sized group for a discussion of literature.
